I have the large bucket and I can honestly say it has never tipped over. But, just in case, I keep all loose things like lip gloss, etc. in the small pouchette that comes with the bag and I keep it hooked to the gold chain. When you're carrying the bag it keeps itself closed by the way it is tucked under your arm. It really is quicker to pull your wallet out when there is no zipper. The bottom is very sturdy so I guess that's why mine has never tipped over. I've had no issues with this bag because of its open top.

I have a large mono Bucket, vernis Bucket GM, a Sac Shopping and a Cabas Alto. None of my bags have tipped over in the car and let me tell you I DRIVE and CORNER. If they do tip over everything is inside of it's own compartment.

The vernis Bucket is very, very stiff. It doesn't give at all.

The way to keep your things in a convertible bag, in my opinion, is to compartmentalize everything. I don't have anything loose in my bag. Being an accessories hog, I have a LV compartment/pouch/pochette for everything. The things that would be considered loose are still their own holder ie. Agenda, Mono Pen holder, Mono Sunglass case (that I don't use), mono coin purse... You know what I mean? The key is to compartmentalize. Buy LV or someone elses accessory holders/cases then pack your back and sport it!

Also by placing things in various compartments you can always reach in and get what you're looking for and one doesn't have to worry about someone reaching inside of the bag and grabbing some miscellaneous thing. The pouches/pochettes/holders stack down lower in the bag.

Lastly, if you're in the car alone you can always strap it in with the seatbelt!

He makes me smile!

My petite bucket doesn't really fall over if it's on the floor either. Another nice thing is that the feet protect the bottom from getting dirty. And once it was on the seat and DID fall over and nothing fell out.
